| Research Abstract |
To develop higher field superconducting magnets, application of high-T_c superconductor is necessary. In particular, rare-earth based superconductors, which are usually deposited on a high-strength metal substrate, are important candidates for high-field magnet material. In this work, an apparatus, which applies tensile/compressive strain to high-T_c superconductor, was developed. The apparatus was designed based on a four-point bending test. The author investigated strain dependence of critical current at various temperatures and magnetic fields for commercially available superconductor using the apparatus with a variable temperature insert and a cryogen-free superconducting magnet. Temperature and magnetic field are important parameter to determine the strain dependence of critical current for the rare-earth based high-Tc superconductor. A scaling law is needed to develop application devices.
